I unleashed a Hundred Demons Parade in the Ninja World

However, the prophetic visions remain vivid in their minds.

When the black giant descended, everyone resisted, but neither the giant nor Madara Uchiha could be seen.

And then, recalling the two people Xiao Nan wanted to mention two days ago...

The current attack always gave him a vague feeling of a battle between a snipe and a clam.

"Ah."

A mouse sneaked in.

"It should be related to Hanzo the salamander."

He suppressed the hostility rising in his heart and frankly stated the general situation without any hesitation or fabrication.

Only such truths can deceive these cunning individuals hiding other sinister intentions from all sides.

"Hey, Hanzo the Salamander kindly sent them away, and those bastards actually dared to come back here. They really don't know what's good for them."

"Since Pain is going to capture that blind rat, I won't join in the fun. Boss, please call me if you need anything."

Bai Jue didn't question anything else. After all, it was perfectly reasonable for the remnants of the Rain Village to sneak back at this moment. As members of the so-called demigod's clan and followers, they must have a way to sense the life and death of the other party.

Of course, the most important reason is that Nagato did not conceal his answer in the slightest.

If there is deception, he can detect it by observing the subtle changes in chakra produced when someone lies.

As it spoke, the strange, milky-white creature slowly disappeared into the rock face.

at the same time,

The old site of Yuyin Village.

"The Impure World Reincarnation Technique".

A hoarse voice broke the brief silence in the area; it was Hanzo the Salamander, whose soul had been recalled and who was in a special reincarnation state.

With this experience, one can easily discern one's own situation.

It should be noted that the Second Hokage, Tobirama Senju, who developed this ninjutsu, caused immense suffering to surrounding forces due to its power.

Once one's soul is summoned by this technique, it means that one will never be able to achieve spiritual liberation in this life and will be subject to the control of the practitioner in every aspect of life!

"Master Huang."

However, after realizing his situation, Hanzo of the Salamander did not show any particular resistance and even ignored the two Akatsuki leaders standing in front of him.

They simply addressed the caster with more respect.

Because of his obsession, his past, his identity, his illustrious reputation, and everything he pursued, all of it was completely discarded the moment he laid down his weapon two days ago.

If we were to describe his current state, he would be a humble person completely subservient to others, hoping that the caster would continue to fulfill the agreement made in the past.

After all, he doesn't have a single bargaining chip to use for violence or for making deals right now.

As for the promise made with the boy in front of him five years ago:

Submit to me.

In exchange, I will protect your subordinates and grant them another meaning in their existence after your death.

[This allows you to continue serving as the protector of those Rain Village ninjas.]

Of course, there are three things you should understand:

First, every secret technique has specific conditions for use and carries the possibility of failure.

Secondly, those Rain Village ninja who have followed you, remained loyal to you, and spent half their lives in battle, will likely be unconditionally willing to continue fighting alongside you against the Akatsuki until their last breath.

Third, this is our first meeting, and possibly your last before you die. You have no reason to trust me.

So, the choice is yours.

However, when he was defeated by a junior who was even younger than the former Sannin, Hanzo of the Salamander knew clearly that he had no other choice.

Compared to Amegakure continuing to follow him to destruction by the increasingly powerful Akatsuki organization, causing the civilians of the Land of Rain to suffer from the pain of war for several more years;

Compared to Shimura Danzo, who had already deceived and misled himself once.

This boy, standing in the light and shadow, possessing immeasurable potential, gave him a glimmer of new hope.

The idea of ​​ending the war and restoring peace to the Land of Rain aligns with his original intention.

Danzo's offer to help him wipe out the Akatsuki was nothing more than plunging the Land of Rain into endless chaos and weakening the nation once again.

Therefore, he chose to submit, choosing to leave a different path to survival for himself and his followers.

But at that time, Yu Zhi added a hidden prefix to this surrender in his mind: 【For now】!

After all, the guy who made the verbal agreement with him was from the Uchiha clan;

After all, the same old guys are still in power in Konoha, and it's hard to say whether they can reach a future where they are fully capable.

The world has never lacked geniuses.

What's lacking are geniuses who can truly thrive!

Hanzo of the Salamander truly recognized Ara when the Land of Hot Water withstood the first wave of attacks and forced the ancient power of the Land of Iron to bow down and admit its mistakes.

In five years, the old fogies of Konoha not only failed to nip it in the bud, but instead helped it build its own foundation, which was enough for it to go all out.

Of course, the increasingly pressing pressure from the Akatsuki organization was also an important external factor that led him to make the decision to take a desperate gamble.

"Ah."

"Salamander Shinta has written to me, and the subsequent Amegakure ninja have all arrived in the Land of Hot Springs."

Hearing the respectful address from the former, Huang did not feel anything was wrong just because the other party was a former demigod.

The victor is king, the loser is villain—that's the essence of this world.

Moreover, everything about the other party is in my hands.

"After the upcoming Chunin Exams, it will still be up to you whether to choose the release of your soul."

Huang continued to add.

Of course, the reason he made such a promise was not only for the future of the Land of Rain or out of consideration for Hanzo the Salamander.

It's mostly for my own sake.

Even if the quality of the thousands of Rain Village ninjas is uneven, they are enough to deter the surrounding forces, especially in this border standoff, they can hold their own and conceal the movements of the real elite troops.

The resurrected Hanzo of the Salamander will be able to play an even greater role in the upcoming battles.

Ultimately, he was also a powerful being hailed as a demigod.

Moreover, a Rain Village team led by Hanzo and one without a leader are two completely different concepts!

"Yes, I am very grateful."

Hanzo the Salamander lowered his head.

Even if he couldn't be sure whether such a promise was true or not, having one was better than having none.

"The Impure World Reincarnation Technique is a secret technique that uses the remains of a deceased person to summon their soul back from the Netherworld."

"After being recalled, the deceased will, under normal circumstances, unconditionally obey the commands of the caster."

"The condition for its use is that a living human being is offered as a spirit offering."

"I suppose you don't necessarily trust Hanzo either."

"Then go and ask them yourself."

After his brief exchange with Hanzo the Salamander, Ara found himself with a scroll in his hand.

"How to use it is up to you."

"This is my promise to you."

As soon as he finished speaking, he casually tossed this extremely terrifying secret technique to Xiao Nan.

"let's go."

This sentence was spoken to the salamander Ibuki behind him. As for Hanzo, he was temporarily sealed in a coffin and slowly sank into the ground.

Now is not the time for him to appear openly and legitimately.

Chapter 504 So, what is the treasure of the Rain Kingdom?

Xiao Nan clutched the scroll that still carried the scent of another person tightly, her light orange pupils trembling slightly.

She didn't know what state Nagato was in at that moment.

However, for him, the five-year wait had finally yielded a response, and such a resounding one at that, causing his inner emotions to surge like the vast ocean.

Because this not only means that he can truly uncover the truth behind the destruction of the Akatsuki members, but also that he can bring back that person's soul!

To be able to hear that person speak again after decades, instead of simply staring at a cold, emotionless puppet every day!

Thinking of this, Xiao Nan tightened her grip on the scroll even more, her short nails almost digging into her flesh!

"Thank you."

This achievement was completely beyond her imagination.

Therefore, the words of thanks that come out of the mouth are also heartfelt.

"It's just an agreement."

"No need to thank you."

Huang didn't show any particular attitude towards such sincere gratitude, only responding in a lukewarm manner.

After all, the number of wars in the Land of Rain has decreased significantly in recent years, and the number of ninjas in Amegakure has been able to maintain a strength of over a thousand, which must have been partly due to the other side's persuasion.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Nan's cold and aloof expression softened slightly, but she quickly regained her composure and said nothing more.

Ultimately, as long as Itachi Uchiha, a core member with a sensitive identity, is caught in the middle, the distinction between friend and foe among them will never be clear.

Who knows, the next time we meet, we might be enemies fighting each other.

However, compared to the woman's gratitude, Pain's attitude was not so clear.

Even though he has unlocked the answer buried in his heart through such a conversation, there are two undeniable results: Yahiko cannot be fully resurrected and return to the present world, and he is still a potential enemy of the Akatsuki organization.
